Good lube for cricket receiver
Guys what type of lube are you using for cricket receiver mechanism ? My friend has cricket 1and 1/2 year old and he asked me what lube he would use?

Only silicone grease must be used for all internal parts of the regulator or air reservoir and o rings. ..
And for all external parts all moly grease can be used. …and i asked my friend to order one of the below for me. ..i think this will be good since it will not make your clothes get dirty. ..

Ville’s back!!! :8: :8: :8:
The reg insides shouldn´t be greased anyways. For the o-rings it´s silicone grease, thin layer. Away with all the grease inside the reg.
Inside the regulator use silicon oil.It would work good.
What about the inside of the reg? If it has dirty grease inside what can you replace that with after a clean up?
White Moly = White Molybden Disulphite Grease. Found everywhere they sell Products for lubrication.
That said , i use this Goo for all my greasing needs from triggers to Wife :

I also don’t really know what moly is, but I googled moly and the word grease in swedish and found this product: Castrol Moly Grease, after readeing the description it sounds great, I think it will work, here is the link so you can see the picture of the canister
It is the same as white moly?
What is white moly? Do you know right type ? thx
white moly?
Thanks guys for feedback 🙂 Personally I have polished my hammer and my spring is stainless steel it doesn’t need to polished 😆
My receiver is lubed by some white vaseline from year 1990 🙂 His cricket has vaseline from the factory and question is what about use some special lube for combination steel-aluminum ??
If he wants it to go smoother when cocking then another thing to do would be to polish the hammer and hammer spring, first thing I noticed with my cricket was how rough the cocking was,so I polished the hammer to a mirror sheen and also the spring, it had instant effect and now it is much smoother, not perfect, but a lot beter
Jan, I use silicone grease on the receiver — which the barrel connects to — and I use Maccari moly paste for the cocking mechanism, especially on the cocking plate (which rubs against the breech block).

Thanks brother Hemn for your suggestions. And what for internal mechanisms in the cricket there is lot of moving parts? There are two materials steel and aluminum… I have seen somewhere special vaseline lube for steel-aluminum but I could not find it 😕
